Sorry minnie what i meant to say was that Amey was baptized in Erringden - which is above Hebden Bridge - would those dates tie in with her age of the census in 1861.

i'm a bit thick when it comes to the dates of when the census are taken - i've been led to believe that they are done in the april.

you think that the 1860 Annie Blackburn christened 01 AUG 1860 Hebden-Bridge, is yours?

about 12 miles - but funnily enough Amey was baptized in Hebden Bridge - I would say Hebden Bridge is approx 13 miles away

How far away is Hebden Bridge?

I agree - I should go on line and order them today

Annie ( Amey) isn't even listed in the 1871 census or anyway after that brief mention ........

but thanx for helping me anyway - it is appreciated

that would be the way to establish mothers maiden surname, wouldnt it?

no Minnie I don't

.........

do you have either of the childrens birth certs?

what happened to Henry & Thomas?
( I suspect that Amey is an Annie)

Kay - the only proof I have that they were married is because when I found there graves and read the headstones it names her as Elizabeth beloved Wife of John ...........

Ok Minnie

Piece 1302 Bk 7 lists him as being in Ovenden which is about 10 miles + away from Soyland

Piece 1303 Bk 16 lists him as being in Rastrick which is about 20 miles away from Soyland

Family history Line appears to have stayed in and around the Ripponden / Sowerby Bride area ( approx 2 miles away from Soyland) after making enquiries in and around that area the Ripponden Church St Bartholomews is the parent church for Barkisland and Soyland ....

Both Elizabeths and Johns Graves are in Sowerby Bridge Cemetery in a family plot - both James and Rebecca were laid to rest in this family plot too ......

In 1861 census there is another child AMEY who was born in 1860 accirding to the census of 1861 - but she is not in the family plot or mentioned again ..........in fact to be honest she has disappeared off the face of the earth !!!!!!!!! lol

ok ( thanks)

What makes that one yours?

Class HO107 Piece 1304 Book 13

caan you rememeber the RG numberof 1841 that was yours - as you can see from the wrong 1851 that I found there is a nother bloke-same name - born Soyland

Blowed if i can pick out the right 1841

Morning everyone

The reason I think that he was married before is because of the 1841 census listing him with Mary and two children Thomas born c1832 and Henry born 1840 (soyland is not a very big place) and then there is a gap before the next child is born in 1845 and John is Listed with another woman - but there is no wonder i couldn't find them in the 1851 census if they were listed under the name of BLACKHAM - tha nx for that Minnie - they are the one and same.

I found john's Baptism in the Parish Register (records held in the Library) but again I looked for the marriage to ELIZBETH and found NOTHING -

Maybe it is me that is a bit thick eh????

Thanx for all your help everyone I really appreciate it

xxxxxxxx:-)))

hope TJ will be back today

OK - havent found the marriage, but found 1851
Thanks
